Czech and Asian upmarket restaurant

We booked ahead for an eve meal. This is a vegetarian and vegan restaurant with vegan options clearly marked. Had a vegan red wine, tofuish gras and mushroom pate as starters. We had the black beer goulash which had some good “meaty” stuff in it and also peanut based udon noodles. One of our more expensive meals in Prague but the wine added about £25! Nothing particularly special about the service but was a decent place to eat.

Pros: Traditional Czech vegan food, Food was nice quality, very nice, Vegan red wine was good

Cons: Service wasn’t very personal, near tourist area

Great options & lovely staff

Fully vegetarian/vegan restaurant in the centre of Prague! Good choice of drinks too! I think the price was also good for a city centre location.

Nice lunch

Had the schnitzel which was a weekly special. The meat itself was nice but not mind blowing, however the potato salad it comes with was really nice. Price is very reasonable too so I think worth visiting. It was quite busy so book if you can

Delicious!!

The black beer goulash and traditional Czech Svíčková were absolutely scrumptious!!
If you have to choose between the two, choose the goulash if you like food with strong taste and the Svíčková.if you prefer a more refined taste with a touch of sweetness.
The maitrea selection of cold starters was really good too, especially the tofuie gras 👌

Nothing apecial

The food was good, but I had better, especially in Prague. The Location ist convenient, when you're in the City center, but I would rather eat somewhere else. The Kimchi Udon barely had any Kimchi in it and the beer gulash wasn't very smooth, but a bit sour.

great food, but pricey

We had 2 mains, 2 drinks and a shared dessert, all for 45€, which is quite a lot for Prague. But it’s also an extremely central location. Beautiful interior, too. im
Service was very nice, but so professional that it felt a bit impersonal.
The taste of the meals was really good!

A hidden gem you must try!

This is the restaurant where I have learned to appreciate VEGAN food. Up to today I think this is one of the best plant based restaurants in Europe. It's beautiful interior, the friendly people, the chill ambiance and of course the excellent food and service make it my favorite. They live up to their name. Their food is not only prepared from the best ingredients, but also from the idea that the quality and energy of the food is shaped by the attitude of the people preparing it. And above all it is friendly priced.

Pros: Excellent food, Soothing ambiance, Moderately priced

Cons: It can be very crowded

Enjoyed it!

I made a reservation and the staff was very helpful (by email) when I had to change the time. Service was friendly and quick, the location is very close to the old town square and the food was good - the tofugras was especially great!

Mediocre

We had dinner here and luckily got a seat. There's nothing to complain about the service - they were very quick and friendly. However, the quality of the food wasn't to our liking. It tasted rather mediocre. My friend had the ramen, which contained too much cinnamon. My food (udon noodles) could also have been more flavoured. In addition, the prices were definitely too high for the size of the portions! I would recommend visiting other restaurants with better value for money!

Pros: Friendly staff, No waiting time

Cons: High prices, Only mediocre taste

Highly recommend!

The food was great - the kohlrabi starter was beautiful and delicate and then the burger was just a really really good burger - the perfect balance of burger to salad/avo to bun

Serviço rápido, boa comida e óptima localização

Fomos jantar sem reserva e tivemos um serviço rápido e eficiente. Ambiente descontraído mas bem decorado e acolhedor. Escolhemos o wok seitan que estava delicioso e o Svickova checo igualmente bom.

Pros: Serviço rápido e eficiente, Boa comida com opções veganas identificadas , Ambiente simpático e acolhedor

Cons: Poucas opções veganas

Still excellent 7 years later

I had dinner here my first time in Prague in 2017. When I saw it was still open, I knew I had to come back. Delicious lunch enjoyed with my mom and boyfriend in a beautiful ambiance. Servers were very nice too!

Really good food, nice atmosphere.

My first taste of tofu gras - but not my last! We had an appetiser to share and I had udon noodles for my main course. Everything was really tasty and delicious. The desserts looked good, but we were too full to taste them🙈😋

Amazing!

This place is absolutely amazing! I came here for dinner with a couple people who are not veg*n and complained that they didn't want to go to an all vegetarian restaurant. The food here was just so well made and delicious that by the end they completely changed their tune and agreed that this was a great meal. We ordered the Tofuie Gras, Udon Noodles, Sweet Potato Curry, and Kra Pao (with no egg). Every single dish was a mouthwatering masterpiece! The service and vibes of the restaurant were also great.

Gorgeous food, friendly staff

All vegetarian, food was fantastic, could have done with a clear vegan menu laid out, rather than having to ask. But otherwise amazing

Needs improvement

Unfortunately, we were not greeted in a friendly manner by the service and were put under pressure when ordering and eating. Profit is obviously the top priority here. The vegetarian and vegan dishes we had were OK, but not outstanding. Not seasoned enough and rather boring. Unfortunately, we were not convinced. There are some vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Prague that do this much better.

Pros: Selection

Cons: Service, Taste
